(Name/location) JL Foot Spa. It's above Star Ice…read more (Atmosphere/decor) The music was calming and relaxing. This eased me a bit too much wanting to sleep, and not being awake to enjoy the massage. (The menu/dishes) $45 foot and body combo 30 mins each (The ingredients/the wine/the prices) The pricing here is cheaper than the other places in the same plaza. The other places charge about $55/hr. (The service/the waiters/the owner) The service was subpar. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great service here. They just shook my feet, and touched my toes. They blindfolded me to put me at ease, but it didn't feel great really. It felt more like a pedicure than a massage.

This has become our regular spot for weekend morning massages, followed by lunch nearby around…read moreChinatown. Note that Oasis has two locations which are related (I think?), but have different phone numbers and certain massage therapists work at one or the other. It's always super easy to schedule a same-day (or same-morning) appointment by calling. They can usually get you in ASAP, and once you show up, you are ushered to your room right away. Parking is always questionable since it's located in Dun Huang Plaza, but if you come early enough in the morning, parking has never been an issue. I have seen Mike the past couple of visits and my partner regularly goes to see Alan. Both are super solid and we've never had an issue scheduling with them. I prefer my massages DEEP, and Mike does go really deep. To the point I question whether I need to warn him not to push any further or else he might break my back... They have very clean restrooms and complimentary water for guests. Couches in the waiting area are super comfy if you do end up having to wait for a bit.

There is usually a clear difference between budget massage places and high end spas, yet somehow…read moreOasis II feels like a blend of both. Despite being overshadowed by its much larger sister location in the same plaza (#1), this has become my go-to place for all things massage. Don't let the smallish lobby fool you, Oasis II is larger than it appears. There are a number of individual and group rooms of varying sizes, all of which are clean and smell great. They're dimly lit and private enough to conceal the outside noise. It is quiet enough to feel like a true oasis. The male and female masseuses here all specialize in different styles, from deep tissue to aromatherapy. 1 hour regular body massage runs about $65, where as a foot massage is $40. There are specific tiers that include only shoulder / neck / back ($40-70) or even head massage ($40) or hot stone massage ($75). I personally prefer their Oasis special of 30 minutes of feet and another 1 hour of body massage for $90. I'm on my feet often, so foot massages are favorite thing to get. I often require someone who knows how to manipulate large feet where in the perfect balance between pain and pleasure, and usually that person is an older Chinese man with bear paws for hands. There's usually a head and shoulder massage that accompanies this, so it is the best overall combo. When he's done, I feel like I'm floating and light on my toes. For the occasions where it is my back, I prefer back walking. This is not exclusive to Thai massage, but is widely practiced in Chinese style massages. Not every massage place will have bars on the ceiling, but they have specialized rooms where where folks can do this on their own or in couples fashion. I enjoy the pressure and appreciate any pops in the process. They're very professional and do an excellent job every time. English is not necessarily universal, but make your preferences known at the counter so that they can communicate with the staff if necessary. The customer service may not appear to be warm, but it's effective. They do such a good job with answering the phones, scheduling the appointments, and executing in a way that is consistent that I have found very little room for error. It is my sanctuary at Dun Huang Plaza and deserving of this milestone review. (#2) __________ (#1) Oasis No.1: https://www.yelp.com/biz/oasis-massage-salon-houston (#2) Here's looking at you, #5100

I had a strange experience at Soul Inn during my recent visit. The guy who gave me my massage,…read moreKevin, was trying to upsell additional services while I was on the table. It felt really odd. While I was face down, he mentioned something about 10 minutes. I couldn't fully understand because I was relaxed and dozing off, and because of the language barrier. I initially thought he was just letting me know how much time I had remaining, which is unusual because massage therapists typically don't provide time updates during the session. Then he told me it would cost an extra $10 for another 10 minutes. That's when I realized he wasn't informing me about the time; he was trying to sell me more service while I was half asleep. This made me uncomfortable since I had clearly communicated what service I wanted beforehand. Why wake me up to pitch an upsell? This was my second visit; the first time, I had a pleasant experience with a female therapist who gave me a great massage, which is why I returned. After my strange encounter with Kevin, I shared my experience with my friend who recommended the place. She told me that during her last visit, she had him as well, and he tried to upsell her during her massage too, making her feel uncomfortable. My friend has been going there for over a year and has never had an issue with the other therapists, so this was a new and unusual experience for both of us. I'm glad she clarified that this wasn't the norm for the business and the other therapists did not have this practice. However, the whole ordeal left me with an unpleasant feeling, and I'm now hesitant to return, especially when there are other massage businesses in the area that offer a peaceful setting without the pressure to purchase additional services WHILE half asleep during a massage.

The don't have rooms that their walls reach their ceiling which I wouldn't mind if it was worth it but the towel they put above your body they end up rolling it down half way down your butt crack and leave it there to go over once and then they spend the rest of the massage on your shoulders . I don't understand why my whole butt had to be exposed the whole massage when they weren't working on it , and considering that I heard men laughing - I could only assume their men employees were looking over from their half wall rooms. Hot stones were nice but I don't know why they felt like they still felt like their speedy hand movements were relaxing . They even shook me like if that was supposed to be a massage technique.

We decided to treat ourselves to a relaxing day with my cousins and booked massages together…read more My massage therapist was great, though based on my cousins' feedback, a few of the female therapists were a bit hit-or-miss. Pricing felt fairly reasonable for the length of the massage sessions we received. The establishment itself was clean, but it was somewhat noisy due to its close proximity to a busy street like Bellaire, which slightly took away from the relaxation factor. After we finished and went to pay, I noticed a $5 surcharge for card payments. I'm not sure what the charge was for, but I do wish it had been disclosed more clearly upfront. Overall, a decent spot for massages with fair pricing--just a few transparency and noise-related improvements would elevate the experience.

They had affordable pricing with great reviews so that's why I ultimately chose this place. I asked for the foot and back for 1hr for $50. They were able to see me right away. I also did see that they have certain specials on certain days and I would consider that a steal. I had a female massage therapist, and she was able to get all the knots in my foot and my shoulders. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage, lol but the stretching part was kind of insane, I've never been stretched like a pretzel before. I feel like I would've been ok without it though.

Prosperous paradise spa is one of the only legit late night massage places in Chinatown. It's so…read morelegit that other masseuses from nearby places tend to choose this one as their favorite option after work. It would be hard to disagree, considering this is a place that reminds me of spas back in Asia. Undoubtably the prices skew somewhat higher, and while they offer credit cards as an option, the fee is almost never worth it. Cash is king and they will round up, because most items and with .99 (e.g. $49.99). What I would argue is the facility is nice enough to warn the slightly higher price and overall solid massage experience. First timers will be directed to a binder, with a breakdown of multiple massages at different prices, and for different lengths of time. I would recommend looking at their website, or doing a little bit of research prior to coming. Sometimes calling ahead of time will work, as the lady boss speaks good English and is able to set appointments based on preferences. Eventually, most folks will be directed to change in their locker rooms, which have showers, vanity mirrors, and personalized lockers. Surprisingly all of the lockers are out of order, which I suspect is a safety measure than a functionality issue. The men's locker room is spotless and offers multiple types of showers. However, none of the lockers are in use or are able to be used. While they do provide shorts and uniforms for people, they don't provide baskets or ways to hold the clothes. People basically have to carry it around. One of their best services is the foot massage. It's excellent and one of the better places in Chinatown to get it. Their massage chair is out in the open and is fancy enough to have a built-in sink for foot soaking and comfy enough cushion to lay flat for front and back. Additionally, they will eventually do a neck, shoulder, and back rub (over clothes + towel) and it remains one of their best valued options. The rooms are extremely clean. It's extremely professional the whole time. They offer back walking which is their version of a deep tissue massage. Unlike a lot of other Chinese massage places where it's questionable from a hygiene standpoint, there is no worry of this here. They offer full bottles of room temperature water for everyone and parking is a cinch. Ultimately one's experience varies with every masseuse, but the men that work here pull off a very good foot massage and that would be my biggest recommendation. If a body massage is needed, I recommend deep tissue, which usually involves backwalking. (#1) ___________ (#1) Also, quite good.
